    DANFS documents identity, builder, launch/commission dates, service narrative, battle-star credit, and MSF reclassification - not materials or asbestos content. The entry omits the laid-down date, the stricken date, and the disposal record (ends at the 1955 reclassification). Spec block variance: DANFS reads dp. 530 / 15 k. vs NavSource's 650 t / 14.8 kts - flagged in ev-08. Wayback capture cited because the live NHHC page returns 404.

    Finding
    Era/design inference: this hull is a 1942-built steel Admirable-class minesweeper with a diesel direct-drive twin-screw plant (two ALCO 539 diesels, Farrel-Birmingham single reduction gear) - no boilers, no steam distribution. Its insulation load was materially lighter than a steam combatant's, but machinery and construction materials of the 1942-43 wartime era were commonly asbestos-containing: exhaust-system and muffler lagging, machinery gaskets and packing, electrical-cable insulation, accommodation/galley joiner insulation, winch and windlass brake linings (relevant on a minesweeper's sweep-gear winches), and deck compositions of the period. Exposure-relevant populations if any material was present: WISCO Portland-yard construction trades (1942-44); the wartime U.S. crew (design complement ~104) across the Pearl Harbor repair period, the Canberra (CA-70) tow, Peleliu patrol, the Eniwetok overhaul, and the post-surrender Japanese/Chinese-waters mine clearance run from Sasebo (Aug-Nov 1945 - the heaviest sustained sweep-gear operation of the hull's career); Pacific Reserve Fleet inactivation/layup crews (San Francisco arrival Dec 1945 - San Diego decommissioning Jan 1947); reserve-fleet caretakers over the 1947-1972 lay-up; and the undocumented 1973 scrapping workforce.

    Limitations
    Inference from documented design, machinery type, and construction era - NOT a hull materials record. No survey, specification, or material schedule naming AM-165 was located; establishes no asbestos content, quantity, location, condition, individual exposure, or causation. The diesel (non-steam) plant makes even era-level inference weaker than for steam vessels of the same era. The 1947-1972 reserve-fleet period and the 1973 scrapping are undocumented for materials.

Web-search proxy sweeps ('USS Counsel' / 'AM-165' + asbestos/mesothelioma/lawsuit/courtlistener) returned no litigation signal - only generic marketing-roster mentions (mesothelioma.com minesweeper jobsites table: 'USS Counsel | AM-165 | Admirable | 5/27/1944 | Scrapped, 1973'; mesotheliomahelp.org minesweeper name list) - excluded per source rules; they carry no hull-specific evidence.

    Limitations
    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - a 1942-built vessel is era-consistent with asbestos-containing materials even accounting for its lighter diesel insulation load. The hull was scrapped in 1973, so no present-day survey pathway exists; the 25-year reserve-fleet period (1947-1972) and disposal records are undigitized. The CourtListener block means the litigation sweep is incomplete, not clean - a differently-phrased hull reference may exist; logged as a gap. Does not establish presence or absence; does not establish or defeat any exposure claim or legal eligibility.

    Source discrepancies logged, not silently merged: (a) Reclassification sequence - NavSource records 'Originally planned as Coastal Minesweeper Counsel (AMc 142); Reclassified as a Minesweeper AM-165, 21 February 1942' - i.e., the AMc-142 alias predates laying down (15 Jun 1942) and is a paper designation only; DANFS opens at AM-165 without mentioning it; carried as an alias, not a separate hull (per the batch VERIFY check: AMC-142 and AM-165 are the same ship). (b) Displacement/speed - DANFS spec block for this hull reads dp. 530 / 15 k.; NavSource reads 650 t / 14.8 kts; HyperWar class block reads 625 t / 15 kts; Colton reads 650d - NavSource/DANFS/SDB agreement on beam/draft/complement; the 530 vs 650 variance is unresolved (same class-list vs per-hull pattern flagged on sister Concise, batch-1187). (c) Propulsion label - SDB 1945 machinery row reads 'Alco 539 / 1,710' and NavSource reads 'Two 1,710shp ALCO 539 diesel engines, Farrel-Birmingham single reduction gear, two shafts' (direct drive); HyperWar's class block reads 'Diesel-electric engines, twin screws, 1,800 h.p.' - the documented reduction-gear fit contradicts 'diesel-electric'; NavSource/SDB carried (same compilation slip flagged on sisters Admirable batch-1169 and Concise batch-1187). (d) Reserve-entry date - DANFS decommissioned 'in reserve 15 January 1947 at San Diego'; NavSource quotes NVR 1 Jan 1949 listing 'out of commission, in reserve as December 1945' - she arrived San Francisco 19 Dec 1945, so an inactivation/layup process plausibly began ~Dec 1945 while formal decommissioning came 13 months later; a paperwork-vs-layup variance, not an error in either source - both carried. (e) NavSource typo - its chronology bullet prints 'MSF-163' for the 7 Feb 1955 reclassification while its own page header, DANFS, and every other source read MSF-165; MSF-165 carried. (f) Delivery vs commission - Colton's '7-May-44' is the delivery date; commissioning (DANFS/SDB) is 27 May 1944 - consistent sequence, both carried. (g) Disposal - NavSource 'Struck 1 July 1972; sold for scrap 1 September 1973'; Colton 'Scrapped 1973'; Wikipedia 'sold for scrap, 1 September 1973' - consistent; buyer and breaking yard not documented - carried as a gap. (h) Battle star - DANFS credits one battle star without campaign assignment; a commercial ribbon-vendor table (officialmilitaryribbons.com) assigns post-surrender operations P207-13 Sasebo, P207-14 Arcadia, P207-17 Tsushima Straits, P207-23 'Skagway' - non-authoritative, not carried.

    No case located names this hull (see negative_finding row and search_ledger - and note the authenticated CourtListener sweep itself is logged blocked, not clean). Doctrinal context only for the vessel's type: claims arising from WWII-era Navy-vessel asbestos exposure ran under maritime law against equipment manufacturers, and the Supreme Court's DeVries decision settled the 'bare-metal defense' framework - manufacturers that supplied bare equipment had a duty to warn where their products required asbestos-containing parts. It illustrates the litigation posture claims arising from service aboard a WWII diesel minesweeper would have faced; no such claim naming Counsel was located.

The builder of this hull therefore has its own yard-level asbestos documentation - but the documented product use is repair-era, roughly two decades after this hull's 1942-44 construction, and the yard record itself marks the identification 'disputed' (the opinion names only 'Willamette Shipyard' - no corporate name or state).

    Finding
    Archival leads (not retrieved - require research-room or reproduction order; no spend authorized; NARA catalog returns only its JS application shell to automated fetch): (a) NARA's guided topic confirms hull-specific asbestos research runs through BuShips records 'filed by ship's designation and hull designation' - for this hull 'AM165', with class correspondence under the namesake hull 'AM136 Class' and type correspondence under 'AM'; private-yard files for Willamette would sit under the 'QM' contractor filing code; (b) RG 38 Board of Inspection and Survey reports cover pre-commissioning and pre-decommissioning material-condition inspections - the likeliest official record of this hull's fitted material state; (c) RG 24 deck logs, May 1944 - Jan 1947, plus WWII muster rolls (sibling Admirable hulls are demonstrably indexed); (d) the 1972 strike / 1973 sale disposal record - buyer and scrapping contract not located in any digitized source; NVR detail pages for AM-165 and MSF-165 both 302-redirect to index (pre-digital coverage); (e) the NVR-1949 'in reserve as December 1945' vs 15 Jan 1947 decommissioning reconciliation - a paper-trail check worth a records pull.

    Limitations
    Record-group mapping only - no box-level retrieval performed; existence of asbestos-specific documents for AM-165 is unknown until surveyed in person. Muster rolls and deck logs are personnel/operations records; NARA's own guide notes deck logs and muster rolls 'provide no direct evidence of asbestos.' Nothing in this row is an asbestos finding.
